The Greatest Strawberries on Earth. 



BRAftDYWlNE— Berries of the Brandywine 

 are of magnificent and immense size, very 

 flrm.soiitiand shapely forso large a berry. 

 In general it is broadly heart-shaped 

 without neck, occasionally fruits will be 

 found shaped as if two berries were 

 joined together; flesh red to the core, of 

 delightful aroma, rich, juicy and luscious. 

 The color is of a rich, dark, glossy scarlet. 

 Coloring uniform all over, no white 

 blotches or green tips; its large, green 

 calyx greatly adds to the attractiveness 

 of the fruit. In productiveness the 

 Brandywine strawberry is truly a mar- 

 vel, both in size and quantity. The splen- 

 did large berries are borne on stiff, stout 

 seems, ripening in succession for a long 

 period, from mid-season until the very 

 latest, holding up its size to the last and 

 every berry coming to maturity. Plants 

 : very vigorous and hardy, throwing out 

 strong runners. The foliage is of the 

 largest and thriftiest. 25c per doz. ; 75c 

 per 100: fo per 1,000. 

 PRINCESS— (P) — From Minnesota; plant 

 healthy and vigorous; it is very produc- 

 tive, blossoms pistillate; fruit large and 

 of regular form, light red color and ex- 

 cellent flavor. Is one of the heaviest 

 yielders I have, the fruit literally piles 

 up three and four deep around the plant. 

 Plant largelv of this, it is one of the very 

 best. 25c per doz. ; 60c per 100 ; U per 1,000. 

 8EDERW00D— A new and exceedingly val- 

 uable early strawberry. Conceded to be 

 the best early berry for home use and 

 worthy of great praise. Probably the 

 best early variety ever introduced ; it is 

 not only vei-y early, but immensely pro- 

 ductive. The plant is faultless, of healthy, 

 vigorous growth, and an enormous bearer, 

 perhaps equal to any of the pistillate sorts 

 in this respect ; the berries of large size of 

 regular roundish form, light scarlet, of 

 excellent quality, remaining in fruit along 

 time. We picked berries every daj' for a 

 month from it last season. 25c per doz. ; 

 60c per 100: $4 per 1,000. 

 JESSIE— A very large and handsome straw- 

 berry, of bright, glossy, crimson color. 

 Where light, rich soil and good cultivation is given, it gives splen- 

 did satisfaction. Its large size, handsome regular form and fine 

 quality makes it the most desirable of all berries. Plant strong, 

 stocky, vigorous, .free from rust and wonderfully productive; 

 one of the very best. 25c per doz. ; 75c per 100 ; $5 per 1,000. 

 CRESCENT--(P)— Medium size, bright light scarlet; continues a 

 long time in fruit ; plant very vigorous and hardy and will pro- 

 duce good crops under greater neglect than any other strawberry. 

 25c per doz. ; 50c per 100 ; $3.50 per 1,000. 

 NEW MARGARET— The plant is large and healthy and so vigorous 

 in growth that it will mature its last berries and continue green 

 and luxuriant while an abundance of strong runners are produced. 

 The foliage is dark green and so clean and healthy looking that 

 it is a pleasure to work among the plants. The blossom is per- 

 fect and one of the strongest ever seen. It commences to ripen 

 soon after the early varieties, and bears until nearly all others 

 are gone. With a good chance its berries are all of large size. 

 The plant with its habit of growth and productiveness is fault- 

 less. The f i-uit is usually 

 conical, sometimes rather 

 long, never cockscombed 

 or misshaped, often neck- 

 ed. The color is a dark, 

 glossy red, and the berries 

 are not inclined to have 

 while lips. The large, 

 green calyx adds to its 

 beauty. The flesh is firm- 

 er than most large ber- 

 ries and of excellent fla- 

 vor. For healthy, vigor- 

 ous growth, productive- 

 ness, size, beauty and 

 quality, the Margaret is 

 a remarkable grower, and 

 all who have tried it are 

 enthusiastic in their 

 praises of this most ex- 

 cellent of strawberries. 

 When ordering be sure 

 and include the Margaret 

 in vour list. 30c per doz. , 

 S1.25 per 100.

 generally round and symmetrical, very solid and meaty; color a
